First in the Catherine Patterson MysteriesA cast of characters, English and French, all living in the Deux Sevres, in the Poitou-Charentes region of western France, suddenly starts to experience a series of bizarre, frightening and even life threatening events. Catherine, an Englishwoman who runs a chambres d'hotes, along with her husband, is left alone as guests cancel or leave unexpectedly and her website is sabotaged so that no new reservations are made. And then a strange man appears to take a room, a Mr. Saleem, who claims he's from Egypt. He appears pleasant enough, but there are times when his veneer vanishes and Catherine gets a glimpse of a more sinister person. Catherine has a large network of friends and acquaintances and she's never lacking for excitement, so when things start happening, not only to her, but to those people close to her, alarm bells go off. Little does she know that her tiny bit of mystery and list of bizarre happenings are really all wrapped up in international espionage. *****Reviewed By Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' FavoriteGM Haley's mystery novel, Danger in the Deux Sevres, is a fascinating tale of adventure and espionage. The story starts off like a gentle tour of the French countryside around Deux Sevres, complete with the quiet life of its residents, the camaraderie, and the history. Elements of mystery are interspersed throughout narrator Catherine's jaunts and meetings with friends and colleagues. The old and the new, the history of the region, and the influx of non-French residents, international spies, and advanced technology intertwine to weave a grand tale.
Second in the Catherine Patterson Mystery series.It is amazing how Catherine seems to attract dead bodies at her chambres d'h tes in rural southwest France. Even local Inspector Maupetit seems to think it odd that mystery, murder and the urge to do some amateur sleuthing all focus around this woman and her picturesque little corner of the world. When her neighbour has her garden dug up for a small pond, the contractor stumbles over a skeleton. The forensic experts deduce that it is a very old skeleton, but there are tissue remnants of a more recent body being buried next to the skeleton. Only this body has mysteriously disappeared. And her friend, Marie, is being accused of murdering her husband, while Catherine's husband, Karl, discovers one of the chambres d'h tes guests dead in the barn. The mystery thickens as the local mayor becomes involved, perhaps not as directly as suspected, all while his son is preparing for his wedding to another of Catherine's friends.Vengeance in the Vendee is GM Haley's second book in the Catherine Patterson Mystery Books. The collage of characters, both friend and foe, interweaves into a fascinating tale with ever mounting tensions that lead to an unexpected climax. The wedding makes for a final backdrop of the picturesque setting of Vendee. The unique character of the location is well presented, both visually and in the dialogue that characterizes the French and the not-so-French residents of the local community, as well as the visitors to the chambres d'h tes. A lively and interesting read, with a good mystery. Readers will be looking forward to the next Catherine Patterson mystery, especially since dead bodies seem to always appear where she least expects to find them.

Brand new case, dangerous old secrets... Charles Shilling survived his run in with the Jack of Hearts, but surviving his new partnership with the brilliant Doctor Florin is another matter entirely. He's at a complete loss trying to comprehend where they stand, and now he's poked his nose into a case that is far too close to home to involve her in. After everything that happened with the Jack, what he needs now is to find a way to keep Florin safe without inflaming her stubborn curiosity. If there was one thing Amelia Florin learned from the Jack of Hearts case, it's that Mister Shilling is absolutely terrible at watching his own back, and needs someone around to stop him from getting himself killed. Typical rogue, he doesn't seem to think he needs the help, but... well... he's really rather sweet, if foolhardy, and she'll be damned if she lets him get into trouble like that again Even if she has to pursue him all the way to France Can the amateur sleuths catch the thief, or will danger in Paris catch them first? The Thief and the Marquis is the second book in the slow burn series of Shilling & Florin Mysteries. Set in an alternate and progressive universe, Shilling & Florin are on the case, trying to solve mysteries and crack the biggest puzzle of all: each other.
With friends like these, who needs clients... Charles Shilling is a walking disaster. While having embraced that aspect of his personality some time ago, his friends and loved ones do their best to keep him on the straight and narrow - as much as anyone can. Unfortunately, he's worse than ever after what happened with Kopeck and Florin. It seems like no one can talk sense into him now. Until a new form of tragedy strikes close to home, and stokes the beast that Kopeck woke... Amelia Florin barely survived her last case, but while her wounds are healing, her relationship with Charlie is in more danger than ever. Fortunately, she's the only person who can match him for wilful stubbornness as well as intellect, and he's going to need her help if he stands any chance of saving his friends from the mess they've gotten themselves into. Can Florin keep Shilling on the right side of the law, or have they started down a path they can't turn back from? The Case of Silver and Sovereign is the fourth book in the slow burn series of Shilling & Florin Mysteries. Set in an alternate and progressive universe, Shilling & Florin are on the case, discovering that the hardest challenge of all is protecting the ones you love.
It was supposed to be over, but the Jack of Hearts is back... Charles Shilling nearly managed to get his life together. Happy, sober, and engaging with the closest thing to therapy he would probably ever consider... Then the next body showed up. Another dead woman, a victim of the Jack. Except the Jack is dead. Shilling helped bury them. Now the papers are claiming that was a set up and he's the real killer... Amelia Florin is certain of two things: that she and Shilling caught the right murderer the first time, and that her Charlie isn't the killer. Now she just has to find a way to prove it. The best way will be to catch the real murderer, but their list of enemies isn't short, and time is running out to catch the villain trying to frame them before another innocent person falls victim to the copycat. Can Shilling and Florin catch the copycat and finally put a stop to the killings for good? A Cold and Bitter Revenge is the fifth book in the slow burn series of Shilling & Florin Mysteries. Set in an alternate and progressive universe, Shilling & Florin are on the case, fending off enemies new and old, as they try to unravel the mystery and stay alive at the same time.
Aus der Perspektive langjähriger Erfahrung mit chronischen Patienten erklärt Haley, wie und warum unangenehme Direktiven in der Therapie funktionieren. In zahlreichen Fallbeispielen illustriert er, wie diese spezielle Interventionstechnik Einzelpatienten, Paaren und Familien bei vielen Problemen helfen kann. Haley diskutiert die theoretische Basis seines Ansatzes auch im Zusammenhang mit Ericksons Theorie der Veränderung und demonstriert sorgfältig spezifische Vorgehensweisen, die dem einzelnen Patienten gerecht werden. Wer strategische Interventionen zu schätzen weiß, wird Haleys Anregungen mit Vergnügen und einem gewissen Augenzwinkern aufnehmen.
From the widow and collaborator of Alex Haley, award-winning author of" Roots," comes a new American epic from the Civil War. "The Treason of Mary Louvestre" is based on the true story of a seamstress slave from the Confederate town of Norfolk, Virginia. When her owner gets involved with modifications to the ironclad CSS Virginia, Mary copies the plans and sets out to commit treason against the South. Facing certain death as a spy if caught, she treks two hundred miles during the bitter winter of 1862 to reach the office of Union Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, where she hands over the plans. Mary's act of bravery is ably told by Haley, using a rich narrative and characters drawn from that pinnacle era of American history. First there was Roots, now there is "The Treason of Mary Louvestre."
